Dragged 10 Death.

LEAYENwoRTH, Kans., Jan. 81
Richard Woods (colored) who so hor-
ribly assaulted Mary Eddleman last
Thursday night. was taken from the
county jail here early yesterday morn
ing by mob of forty men, and after
being dragged for over mile with a
rope about his neck and attached to
the pommel of saddle, was left for
dead in the middle of the road. The
men were all masked. They were well
armed with revOlyers and had a num-
Der of sledge hammers with them.
With fierce onslaught they battered
the door down and thirty
or forty entered the jail,
oyerpOwered the jailer, took from him
the keys, entered the cell room, took
the negro from his cell and, throwing
a rope over his neck, led him out
doors. They then mounted their
horses and went in Southerly direc-
ton, dragging the wretch after them.
Woods was dragged south ON Third
street to a spot over a mile from the
jail, and the lifeless body was left in
the middle of the street. Every yes
tige of clothing had been stripped from
his body, as he had been dragged the
entire distance, but with the exception
of a small wound on the back of his
head and the marks made by the rope,
there were no marks of violence on his
person

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The announce

suburban justice of the peace officiated.
When Sheriff Matson about two weeks
ago issued the order to the officials of
the county Jail not to admit Miss Van
Zandt to see Spies it was thought that
the matter was settled, but it now APP
pears that neither of the couple aband-
oned their purpose. The law about
marrying by letter and marriages by
proxy was looked up but nothing was
found except in regard to marriage by
proxy. This was finally decided
upon and Justice Englehart in
the town of Jefferson, whose
name figured in the papers duriner
the late months of the past year as de-
nouncing the verdict of the anarchist
| trial in public speeches, was consulted.

from every Bessemer steel plant in the

an amount much nearer to 1900, 600
tons than what has been generally re-

NOnnAL INTERPRETATION

The committee appointed by the
state legislature to visit the State Nor
NAL, arrived last evening and inspect
ed the building this morning.
The report Of this committee
will probably have bearing
on the bill introduced TO apprc-
pirate $4,000 for building additions to
the Normal, $50 900 for this year and
$4,000 the year following. An inter
rogation Of the gentlemen composing
the committee leads to the conjecture
that they are favorably disposed to the
bill, but will feel necessarily bound to
1t somewhat ON the figures given
above on account of the stringency of
the times, But it is more than proba-
bic that they Will report in favor of Il
modified copy of the bill. The con-
mittec consists of Senator's Mat Ed
munds Of jefferson county and J. y.
Ritter Of Cherokee, and Representa-
tives :. $. Cooper of Jefferson county,
John y. Eaton Of Cowley county, and
NJ. y. Chambers of Sheridan county.
These gentlemen are accompanied by
the Lyon county delegation, consist
ing OF senator Kellogg and Represent
atives Hunter and Johnson. They all
started back TO Topeka this afternoon.

NEW YORK, Feb. An Ottawa.
Ontario, special says: Excitement is
intense over revelation which Pre-
mier Mercier has made in regard to
corruption which was carried on by
the late Quebec government. The full
extent of the pIundering will not be
known until an investigation is held.
The apartments of the late speaker,
which were deliberately furnished out
of the treasury, were stripped and
valuable plate and furnishings are mis-
sing and are known to have been car
ried off by boOdlers. On taking hold
of the treasury chest, MERCER found it
empty, but worse than that Sir John
Macdonald had advanced the defunct
government over 100000 out of the
Dominion treasury, which is
charged against the province
and all of which went into the gen.
eral corruption fund. In addition TO
this the province had been run heavily
in debt and large amounts of out
standing claims remain to be paid,
and there is nothing with which to
pay them. Premier MERCER has issued
a circular to officials in all branches of
the public service to balance their
books and report at once.
